The SOI Industry Consortium today announced an initiative to deliver a silicon on insulator (SOI) educational event in conjunction with ARM TechCon3 to help the electronics industry reap the benefits of SOI.

Researchers at Oregon State University and other institutions have developed a new plasmonic nanorod metamaterial using extraordinarily tiny rods of gold that will have important applications in medical, biological and chemical sensors.

Improved magneto-nano sensor chips are up to 1,000 times more sensitive than current methods of cancer detection - can scan any bodily fluid with high accuracy and search for up to 64 different cancer-associated proteins simultaneously.

The European Environmental Bureau (EEB), Europe's largest federation of environmental citizens' organizations, launched a report outlining the critical governance structures needed for the safe development and use of nanotechnologies.

UC Santa Barbara and the Institute of Microelectronics (IME) of Singapore have entered into a 'green electronics' research collaboration agreement focused on developing ultra-efficient nanoscale transistors and exploring their circuit-level functionality.

The completed building will consist of a 28,000-square-foot basement, an 8,000-square-foot sub-basement, and four above-ground levels each measuring about 12,000 square feet. The total building is about 90,000 square feet including hallways, utilities and common spaces.
